Definitions

  • the quantity of coffee powder used and the volume of the beverage dispensed into the cup may be very varied.
  • a "ristretto" espresso of the mediterranean type of 15 ccm an average of 6 grams of ground coffee are used, whereas to prepare a dose of coffee of 120-150 ccm as consumed in Northern Europe up to 18 grams of ground coffee may be required.
  • the force with which the dose of coffee powder is compressed must not however be too great, otherwise there is a risk of forming a layer so compacted that it forms a barrier to the water.
  • the dispensing units are provided with infusion chambers in which the operating volume is determined when the piston is in the closure position with the connecting rod and crank in alignment.
  • the chamber may contain at maximum a certain quantity of ground coffee which depends on the diameter of the chamber and on the dimensions of the means for moving the piston, i.e. of the connecting rod and crank.
  • the layer of compressed coffee powder would be prevented from swelling up and therefore from correctly absorbing the water, since the motor would have to exert a torque such as to ensure that the connecting rod reacted with a force greater than that generated by the pressure of the water continuing to compress the layer of coffee powder.
  • pressurised water is fed in, generally at a defined temperature, for the preparation of the beverage when the piston 8 is located within the cylinder 2 and therefore the infusion chamber 3 is sealed closed by means of the gasket 9.
  • control unit 23 effects the admission of the pressurised water at the conventional temperature necessary for the beverage being prepared.
  • the pressurised water reaches the inside of the infusion chamber 3 via the connector 14 of the piston 8 and the inner channel 8a which traverses the latter axially.
  • the reversal of the direction of rotation of the motor 19 is commanded by the control unit 23, which has received consent for this from the signal which has come from the optical sensor 48 which has again been engaged by the member 42.
  • the arc G indicates the possible positions in which the roller 55 stops according to the quantity of powder introduced into the chamber 3, i.e. according to the volumetric type of the beverage which has been dispensed.
  • the roller 55 After reaching the end of the cam path indicated by the arrow F1, the roller 55 is located at the start of the cam path indicated by the arrow E, ready to carry out another cycle.
